My work consists primarily of photo-based sculpture and installation, using photographs that I shoot and then immerse within found objects, architectural spaces, or vessels of my own creation. Exploring photography’s burgeoning expansiveness, I combine object and imagery, embedding the vastness of landscape within manmade structures such as doors, windows, boxes and other geometric formations. Though it has manifested in many physical and digital forms, much of my work explores and represents place as it is experienced, rather than merely as it is seen.
